necessity_n fall_v into_o confusion_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o extraordinary_a power_n lodge_v somewhere_o to_o provide_v for_o its_o preservation_n that_o power_n here_o in_o england_n be_v in_o a_o parliament_n and_o have_v often_o be_v make_v use_n of_o but_o i_o conceive_v for_o the_o reason_n above_o mention_v never_o more_o just_o than_o upon_o this_o occasion_n and_o though_o the_o justice_n of_o this_o bill_n be_v very_o clear_a i_o think_v the_o next_o thing_n yet_o easy_a to_o prove_v which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v his_o majesty_n real_a interest_n to_o pass_v it_o for_o if_o this_o government_n be_v so_o constitute_v that_o the_o king_n have_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o considerable_a prince_n in_o europe_n but_o without_o they_o signify_v but_o little_a either_o at_o home_n or_o abroad_o as_o i_o doubt_v that_o be_v the_o case_n and_o if_o nothing_o can_v contribute_v more_o to_o the_o alienate_n the_o people_n affection_n from_o he_o than_o his_o deny_v this_o bill_n one_o will_v think_v there_o need_v no_o other_o motive_n to_o induce_v his_o majesty_n to_o pass_v it_o but_o beside_o i_o shall_v not_o think_v this_o unworthy_a of_o his_o majesty_n consideration_n if_o there_o be_v some_o person_n to_o who_o he_o may_v have_v a_o just_a prejudice_n and_o who_o if_o they_o can_v bring_v to_o pass_v whatever_o they_o propose_v to_o themselves_o will_v still_o be_v endeavour_v to_o make_v the_o breach_n wide_o whether_o the_o denial_n of_o this_o bill_n may_v not_o furnish_v they_o with_o too_o plausible_a argument_n with_o the_o people_n to_o refuse_v such_o necessary_a demand_n as_o his_o majesty_n may_v make_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n or_o the_o support_n of_o his_o alliance_n and_o whether_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o pass_v it_o may_v not_o very_o much_o disappoint_v those_o counterfeit_n patriot_n by_o take_v from_o they_o the_o best_a pretence_n they_o have_v of_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o sedition_n nay_o who_o know_v but_o the_o refusal_n of_o this_o bill_n may_v exasperate_v the_o nation_n to_o that_o degree_n that_o a_o title_n may_v be_v set_v up_o on_o pretence_n of_o a_o former_a marriage_n by_o the_o help_n of_o false_a witness_n which_o though_o as_o ridiculous_a in_o itself_o as_o injurious_a to_o his_o majesty_n reputation_n may_v yet_o put_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n into_o a_o flame_n the_o expedient_a of_o take_v away_o all_o regal_a power_n from_o a_o popish_a successor_n and_o leave_v he_o only_o the_o name_n of_o a_o king_n can_v be_v no_o satisfactory_a security_n to_o the_o nation_n unless_o such_o a_o form_n of_o government_n be_v settle_v during_o the_o life_n of_o his_o predecessor_n for_o otherwise_o the_o successor_n have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o crown_n which_o without_o a_o act_n to_o exclude_v he_o he_o will_v have_v may_v not_o only_o pretend_v that_o the_o predecessor_n can_v give_v away_o his_o prerogative_n but_o probable_o may_v succeed_v in_o oppose_v it_o by_o the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v always_o find_v in_o the_o introduce_v of_o new_a constitution_n now_o whether_o this_o expedient_a be_v put_v in_o practice_n during_o the_o life_n of_o the_o present_a king_n be_v not_o as_o good_a for_o the_o people_n as_o the_o bill_n i_o shall_v not_o now_o dispute_v but_o as_o to_o the_o king_n himself_o i_o think_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o nothing_o can_v be_v less_o for_o his_o honour_n or_o interest_n than_o to_o admit_v of_o such_o a_o expedient_a the_o objection_n that_o this_o bill_n may_v disunite_v scotland_n from_o england_n seem_v not_o very_o weighty_a for_o first_o we_o know_v not_o but_o a_o free_a parliament_n there_o may_v pass_v a_o bill_n to_o the_o same_o effect_n but_o if_o they_o do_v not_o the_o disunion_n can_v happen_v unless_o the_o duke_n outlive_v the_o king_n and_o in_o that_o case_n will_v continue_v but_o during_o his_o survivance_n for_o the_o next_o successor_n will_v unite_v the_o kingdom_n again_o this_o inconvenience_n therefore_o if_o it_o be_v at_o all_o will_v be_v of_o so_o short_a continuance_n as_o can_v be_v of_o weight_n to_o balance_n with_o those_o present_a and_o visible_a mischief_n that_o may_v fall_v upon_o the_o nation_n for_o want_v of_o this_o bill_n some_o have_v fancy_v and_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v but_o a_o fancy_n that_o the_o king_n have_v make_v a_o solemn_a promise_n to_o his_o brother_n never_o to_o pass_v it_o i_o will_v suppose_v the_o worst_a if_o his_o majesty_n have_v make_v such_o a_o promise_n i_o conceive_v with_o submission_n it_o be_v void_a in_o itself_o for_o if_o he_o have_v take_v a_o oath_n at_o his_o coronation_n to_o maintain_v the_o establish_v religion_n and_o in_o order_n to_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o pass_v this_o bill_n i_o doubt_v no_o subsequent_a promise_n can_v absolve_v he_o from_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o oath_n in_o the_o next_o place_n all_o promise_n be_v understand_v to_o be_v for_o the_o advantage_n of_o he_o that_o make_v they_o or_o of_o he_o they_o be_v make_v to_o or_o both_o but_o the_o perform_v this_o will_v not_o only_o be_v ruinous_a to_o his_o majesty_n but_o of_o no_o advantage_n to_o his_o royal_a highness_n for_o how_o great_a soever_o his_o merit_n and_o virtue_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v he_o lie_v under_o a_o circumstance_n that_o make_v it_o impossible_a for_o he_o to_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n though_o this_o bill_n never_o pass_v but_o by_o conquest_n and_o that_o way_n he_o may_v have_v it_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o act_n that_o can_v be_v make_v to_o oppose_v he_o i_o shall_v add_v no_o more_o to_o the_o trouble_n i_o have_v give_v you_o upon_o this_o subject_a but_o that_o i_o be_o for_o this_o bill_n because_o i_o think_v it_o just_a and_o necessary_a not_o because_o it_o be_v contend_v for_o by_o a_o party_n for_o i_o hold_v myself_o as_o free_a to_o differ_v with_o that_o party_n when_o i_o think_v they_o in_o the_o wrong_n as_o to_o agree_v with_o they_o when_o they_o have_v reason_n of_o their_o side_n this_o may_v be_v a_o error_n at_o least_o may_v be_v subject_a to_o misconstruction_n in_o a_o time_n that_o most_o thing_n be_v so_o but_o i_o hope_v you_o that_o have_v know_v i_o long_o will_v judge_v more_o charitable_o of_o sir_n your_o most_o humble_a servant_n finis_fw-la
